Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 25

[Chapter 25 Your Highness]

Cheng Yujin was shocked, and her pupils suddenly enlarged.

Cheng Yuanjing What does this mean?

Did he find her?

Did he want to kill someone?

Cheng Yujin quietly took a deep breath, trying to calm her mind.

She hid in the closet long before Cheng Yuanjing came in. This closet was surrounded by thick red wood planks with gauze on it. The outside world couldn’t see the scene inside. It was specially reserved for storage.

Cheng Yujin was confident that she hadn’t left anything outside. Logically, Cheng Yuanjing should not have found out that she was.

Could it be that the superiors are suspicious, he is testing?

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Yujin had already turned around a lot of thoughts, but she didn’t say a word, she planned to stay still and watch the follow-up.

If it was said that she was still afraid of her ninth uncle, now, it is pure fear.

Cheng Yujin didn’t want to know at all why he hid in Cheng’s house, what deal he made with Old Marquis Cheng in private, she only knew that she was just an ordinary girl and would be married soon, she must not be involved in these whirlpools .

Anyway, she pretended not to know, and she didn’t admit it.

Cheng Yujin hid inside, holding her breath, listening nervously to the outside world.

It was quiet outside for a long time, as if Cheng Yuanjing was really cheating.

Cheng Yujin waited patiently, heard him sigh, and said casually: “There are already people outside, if you don’t come out, you really won’t be able to leave.”

Cheng Yuanjing fiddled with the incense in the corner of the room, the room was silent, as if everything was gone It’s his hallucination.

After a while, the closet creaked softly.

Cheng Yuanjing shook his head and smiled, not even bothering to turn his head back.

The man behind him seemed to be very hesitant. After dawdling for a long time, he slowly moved to the door: “Ninth uncle.”

After Cheng Yujin finished shouting, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head and said, “Ninth uncle, I just treated my grandfather and fell asleep accidentally. I didn’t even find the ninth uncle coming in. What a negligence, please forgive the ninth uncle.”

Cheng Yuanjing smiled lightly, he turned back and glanced at Cheng Yujin, Cheng Yujin stood beside the mahogany door, eyes drooping, and stared at the ground quietly. .

The expression on her face was calm and calm, like a little girl who did something wrong admitting her mistake, without panic, as if she really just fell asleep accidentally.

Cheng Yujin saw Cheng Yuanjing fiddling around in front of the incense burner, her palms tightening.

Cheng Yuanjing seemed to have finally seen enough, and closed the gilt copper cover.

He picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his fingers, and when he threw the handkerchief back to the wooden frame, he glanced at Cheng Yujin with a half-smile: “You still call me Ninth Uncle?”

Cheng Yujin bit her head: “Ninth Uncle, the little girl doesn’t understand you. What do you

mean…”

“Next time you jump out of the window, remember to clean up the footprints on the carpet.”

Cheng Yujin lowered her head and found a pair of light shadows on the carpet under the window.

Old Marquis Cheng’s house is covered with carpets, one for cold protection and the other for sound insulation.

Because of the carpet, Cheng Yujin made almost no sound when she jumped in, but again, when she jumped down, she flattened a small piece of the fine fluff on the floor, the traces were very slight, and only a careful stare could see the clues.

Unexpectedly, such a small loophole was discovered by Cheng Yuanjing.

Cheng Yujin knew that it was useless to say anything so far, so she immediately picked up the corner of her skirt without hesitation, knelt down neatly on the ground, and said, “His Royal Highness, the servant girl didn’t mean it, the servant girl didn’t hear anything…”

Just now He was still stubborn, but now it’s more convenient to change his mouth.

Cheng Yuanjing was noncommittal, and walked out, Cheng Yujin lowered her head, saw him approaching gradually out of the corner of her eyes, her heart was about to jump out.

However, he didn’t do anything, and still walked past her in a hurry.

Cheng Yujin knelt on the ground, her heart was at a loss, and she didn’t know what the immortal meant for a while.

Cheng Yuanjing took two steps, turned around and raised his eyebrows to look at her: “What are you still doing?”

Cheng Yuanjing didn’t have the patience to listen to long speeches, and he always said half of what he said.

Cheng Yujin asked subconsciously, “What?”

After speaking, Cheng Yujin regretted it, God, did she think she didn’t die fast enough!

Cheng Yujin couldn’t wait to bite her tongue off. She was desperately searching for remedies when she heard Cheng Yuanjing

say, “Someone is coming outside. Are you going to kneel until everyone sees it?”

“You mean to get me up?”

Cheng Yuanjing swept her, as if she thought she was stupid, turned around and strode away.

Cheng Yujin was suffocated by his gaze, but she didn’t dare to say anything, so she quickly got up and chased Cheng Yuanjing away.

There were several servants guarding outside the house, and Guan Chengyujin saw three levels inside and outside.

They were really stunned when they saw Cheng Yuanjing taking Cheng Yujin out.

Why didn’t they remember that Miss Cheng’s family went in here?

Cheng Yujin lowered her head and followed closely behind Cheng Yuanjing.

The two of them were speechless all the way, and went straight to the Chenming Courtyard.

The two fair servants pushed open the door and bowed to greet Cheng Yuanjing as he entered the door, without even blinking his eyes.

Cheng Yujin kept all this under her eyes, her lips pressed even tighter.

I didn’t pay attention before, I just thought that Cheng Yuanjing’s servant seemed to be extraordinarily disciplined, but now I look closely, only to find that his attendant is too clean and neat, his steps are broken and fast, and his every move is neat.

The more centralized the place, the more symmetrical and tidy it is.

Among the people Cheng Yuanjing served closely, there were no women, they were all white-faced and beardless servants.

Are these people really little servants?

Cheng Yujin didn’t dare to think about it, she was afraid that she would not be able to get out of this door if she thought deeply.

Cheng Yujin followed Cheng Yuanjing into the door, the attendant who opened the door looked at her calmly, and seeing that Cheng Yuanjing didn’t give any orders, he closed the door quietly and retired.

There was a soft “click” sound when the door was closed, and Cheng Yujin’s legs softened and she almost knelt down.

She felt that it was not just the door that had just been closed, but her life as well.

Cheng Yuanjing walked into the study and placed some of the things he carried with him on the Duobao Pavilion. After he put it away, he turned around and saw Cheng Yujin’s face, and couldn’t help laughing: “Now you know what you’re afraid of? Weren’t you too bold just now? ”

He dared to speak nonsense with his eyes open and lied to him in front of his face.

He was in her heart, just so mindless?

Cheng Yujin knelt down without saying a word, wishing to swear to God: “Your Highness, I really didn’t hear anything, and I won’t say anything when I go back. I’m just a little girl, and my greatest wish in life is to marry a rich man. The powerful husband-in-law, keep me safe for the rest of my life. You have a lot of money, so please forgive me.”

Cheng Yuanjing smiled and asked calmly, “Didn’t you say you fell asleep, what are you doing? Do you know that I have spoken to the old marquis?”

Cheng Yujin said with deliberation, “The minister and daughter did fall asleep accidentally, and vaguely heard voices talking, but didn’t hear anything…”

Cheng Yuanjing looked at it with a smile She: “Dare to lie to me?”

Cheng Yujin finally reacted, and dared this ancestor to keep biting, just dissatisfied that she lied and lied to him?

Cheng Yujin said in her heart that you should have said it earlier, and she immediately changed her mouth: “I’m not completely asleep either…”

“Huh?”

“Actually, the minister was afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince would blame him, so she could only excuse herself from falling asleep in order to ask His Highness to rest assured. Lonely and helpless, although she is the eldest daughter, her adoptive mother is indifferent, her biological mother is covetous, and if something happens to a minister or daughter, there will be no one to intercede. I am really scared, so I can only do this, not to deceive Your Highness… Your Highness! ”

Cheng Yujin finished speaking, her eyes flashed with water, and she looked at Cheng Yuanjing helplessly.

Cheng Yuanjing was originally cold and indifferent, but when he heard Cheng Yujin’s words, he wanted to play some hard tricks, but when he looked back, he saw Cheng Yujin’s hazy tearful eyes, and his expression was startled.

Why is she crying?

He just wanted to beat Cheng Yujin to make her stop trying to lie to him, but he didn’t plan to really punish her.

Could it be that his tone was too cold to frighten her?

Cheng Yujin suppressed his voice and sobbed. Cheng Yuanjing felt uncomfortable when he heard it. He tightened his fingers and finally sighed: “Get up, I am not targeting you, but I have never liked others to lie to me.”

Cheng Yujin immediately nodded with tears in her eyes: “His Royal Highness has a noble character. , jealous of evil like hatred, naturally I can’t stand deceit and other things. The ministers and daughters are ashamed, please forgive me.”

Cheng Yuanjing was accustomed to watching Cheng Yujin show her teeth and claws, she was always on the air, either scheming or cursing, she had never seen such a weak gesture.

A little girl who loves face the most, but now she is crying pitifully, and Cheng Yuanjing’s heart is a little bit unbearable.

His voice slowed down unconsciously, and said, “I don’t mean to blame you. It’s my fault. I’m scaring you. Get up quickly.

”

Cheng Yuanjing saw Cheng Yujin’s skillful gesture of wiping tears, and his bewildered mind immediately reacted.

Looking at the person in front of him, he didn’t know what to say: “You really… just climbed along the pole.”

Cheng Yujin smiled sweetly at Cheng Yuanjing before the tears dried on her face: “It’s His Highness that has a humility and a gully in his chest. The

courtier admires His Highness very much.”

Her eyes are very beautiful, she cried just now, and her eyes were full of water, but now she squinted her eyes and laughed, she couldn’t tell whether it was heart-wrenching or evil.

Cheng Yuanjing glanced at it and turned his eyes away silently.

She is really good at talking, and she has long seen her way of cursing Old Marquis Cheng and Mrs. Hou without blinking her eyes. Now that she is herself, Cheng Yuanjing understands why the kings of all dynasties can’t refuse slanderers.

Cheng Yuanjing was helpless, but he didn’t plan to do anything to Cheng Yujin, he was just dissatisfied with Cheng Yujin and lied to him again.

Now that she knew she was wrong and pleaded pitifully, Cheng Yuanjing just let her go.

It’s not that it hurts to see her tears.

Cheng Yuanjing saw that Cheng Yujin’s tears were wiped away from the corner of his eyes, and then slowly said, “Why did you appear in the old man’s house?”

Cheng Yujin paused briefly, thinking quickly that she should say that she was filial to her grandfather. Or because he was worried about Uncle Jiu.

In the end, she thought that Cheng Yuanjing had just said that he was not allowed to lie to him, and she had better not pull out her beard.

Cheng Yujin rarely told the truth: “I saw that my grandfather seemed to be looking for someone before he fell asleep. Only the ninth uncle was not there, so I guessed that maybe the grandfather and the ninth uncle had something to say.” Cheng Yujin realized that something was wrong after she finished speaking. , quickly remedy: “I’m sorry, Your Highness…”

“It’s okay.” Cheng Yuanjing stretched out his hand to stop Cheng Yujin’s movements, and said indifferently, “In the future, no matter who is before or after, you will continue to call me Ninth Uncle.”

“Yes.” Cheng Yujin lowered her head in response.

She secretly glanced at Cheng Yuanjing, wanted to say but didn’t dare to say it. After two glances, she was caught by Cheng Yuanjing.

Cheng Yuanjing looked down at her: “What do you want to do?”

Cheng Yujin smiled at Cheng Yuanjing flatteringly, and said tentatively: “Ninth Uncle, I didn’t know Mount Tai before, so I was disrespectful to you. Your lord has a lot of it, and in the future It must be a great cause, shouldn’t you blame me for such trivial matters?”

Cheng Yuanjing wanted to laugh, but he held back.

He glanced at her condescendingly: “You’ve already finished talking, and you still play this trick in front of me?”

“Don’t dare.” Cheng Yujin immediately smiled and said, “I knew the prince… Jiu Shu has a broad mind, I don’t care about such details if I’m right about things or people. Then I won’t disturb the rest of the ninth uncle, and my niece will retire.” Without

waiting for Cheng Yuanjing’s response, Cheng Yujin immediately slipped away.

She took two tentative steps and found that Cheng Yuanjing didn’t stop her.

Cheng Yujin’s words just now were mixed, and they were all deliberate compliments to get away.

I didn’t expect this master to be so powerful that he could afford it and let it go, and he didn’t embarrass her at all.

This really surprised Cheng Yujin.

Cheng Yujin couldn’t help but feel a little high in her heart.

Don’t come again when the opportunity is not lost, Cheng Yujin should have gone out now, and waited for the person behind him to change his mind.

But she walked out of the study, stopped unexpectedly, turned around and asked Cheng Yuanjing: “Ninth uncle, why didn’t you stop it?”

Cheng Yuanjing raised his head and looked at her quietly.

Cheng Yujin resisted the urge to look away and said, “You must have found someone in the house long ago. You could have reminded grandfather and told him

to stop talking, but you didn’t. Why?” It is wise to stop the loss in time. Why don’t you stop Old Marquis Cheng?

If someone else was hiding inside at that time, would the result be the same?

Cheng Yujin didn’t know why she asked this question. After she finished speaking, the room was silent for a long time.

Cheng Yujin secretly laughed at her stupidity. She lowered her eyes and performed a standard Wanfu ceremony: “Sorry, the minister and daughter have overstepped.”

After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, she quickly pushed open the door and left.

The fine dust fluttered in the beam of light, Cheng Yuanjing put down the book in his hand, and his eyes seemed to be thoughtful.

Why didn’t you stop Old Houye Cheng?

Probably because he knew it was her in the closet.

Cheng Yuanjing has never forgotten since he was a child, and his memory is surprisingly good.

He could stay silent after reading the scroll once, and he could restore the words that he had heard, and even the smells he smelled, after years.

As soon as he entered the door, he could smell Cheng Yujin’s body.

So when Lord Cheng called him the prince, he did not deny it.

He didn’t know why, but he didn’t take action despite the fact that he tried to stop him. Instead, he silently watched Old Marquis Cheng pierce his identity.
